Bottom line is that for this type of labor which is seasonal, the American workers as a whole are inferior. And if they are receiving food stamps, they are more likely to be living in an urban area away from the farms. The only sane way is to offer some kind of work visa to the Mexicans, who will actually do work instead of sitting on their arse, and not try to fix a system that works well. Nebraska is having the same problem with their feedlots. How many hours per week are you willing to move to Nebraska and shovel manure in less than ideal conditions?

As many as it would fricking take to feed my family.

But u guess I was just raised different than leeches.

And by the way, I've worked on a farm shoveling manure and other jobs a hell of a lot harder than that for 1/4 of what he's offering to work my way out of the poor house.

It's how things are supposed to be done instead of sucking the taxpayer tit perpetually.

Depends on the pay.

If I can make baller money doing that for a few months a year, I'll take it. If you get paid what you're shoveling, I'll take a different gig.

Yes, if only there were such a program...

quote:

The H-2A temporary agricultural program establishes a means for agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring non-immigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature. In 2015 there were approximately 140,000 total temporary agricultural workers under this visa program.
